The Life of Matthew

Still inside Mummy’s tummy…

While Mummy and Daddy anxiously (and impatiently) await my arrival, I got my first piece of post today. Yes, a parcel addressed to me came to our house. But if they thought that was going to lure me out, they were wrong!

Not only am I the first person in our new house to get a parcel, my parcel came from all the way over on the other side of the world. From somewhere called New Zealand. It was my very own All Black strip - specially designed for babies like me. Mummy’s been goo-gooing over it ever since, she keeps picking it up and saying how cute it is. It’s my rugby outfit, not hers!

I want to say a great big thank you to Sarah for sending me this wonderful present. I can’t wait to get out and try it on. Maybe Mummy and Daddy will get me a little rugby ball to go with it? In the meantime I’m practising my kicks. If I’m going to play for the All Blacks one day (Mummy and Daddy tell me that should say “England”) I’d better get practising. Daddy started doing something called “the Haka” that I’ve also got to learn; if I had been thinking of coming out that scared me back in again!

Until next time, bye bye.

Here I am in my All Blacks outfit. Cute or what?
